GG6 (latest) came apart, small shock!

I got my GG6 about 6 months ago and just a little while ago I cleaned up my car, decided to put some d300 on it. This is the 2nd time I've used it, first time was to polish out some swirls from some clearcoated alloy wheels.

It has maybe 20 minutes of use on it.

Well, the back part of the case (rear) came undone from the orange part and moved back while I was using it, got a very small shock from it. I'm positive that's what it was, and now even though I shoved it back in place it won't stay without some packing tape wrapped around it.

The speed dial is now 'sunken in' and can't really move it.

It's not really clear what holds it on, but it's only been out of the box 2 times now.

I'll be calling Griots tomorrow since they have the warranty but puzzled about what happened.

Doesn't sound good. Hopefully Griot's will replace or fix it. I'll stick with my PC for now.

Re: GG6 (latest) came apart, small shock!

could be, there are these little brass screws right behind where the two body parts meet. That's where I guess the shock came from. I don't really see anything that can hold those two parts together.

oh well, at least it has a warranty.

Yep, I just used small drops of superglue/gorilla glue on the end of a toothpick and rub the edge of the black housing and pussed it back in place, perfect now.

I could use the glue, but something has also happened with the speed dial as well; it's pushed way in or something.

Amazon has volunteered to take care of it though. Just watch for them getting loose, don't want any more shocks.
